Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom is all set to release on 22nd December clashing with Salaar and Dunkacross the globe.But as per reports coming in from the Middle East right now, Aquaman will be releasing on 28th December which has made way for Salaar. The first major change this shift has made is that all 11 IMAX screens in GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) which includes countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman will be screening Salaar. This date change will also increase the number of regular screenings for the film in a big way as most shows reserved for Aquaman will be split between Salaar and Dunki.

Talking about the clash with Dunki, Prashanth Neel in an exclusive interview with ETimes said, “Clash is not something you ideally want, be it with a newcomer or with the biggest star of Indian cinema. But it is a very unpleasant situation for anybody to move their date to somebody else’s date. We also wouldn’t want somebody to move to our date when we have announced it a year before. And we also did not want to do it. But that was a logistical decision that was taken only by the production. And usually we (me and my team) don’t get into the aspects of what the production is going to decide as a release date, because they do not interfere in my process of filmmaking. So I do not interfere in their process of marketing or the release dates, the business aspect.”
“We are not fearful of the fact that another movie as big as that, the combination that it has, Rajkumari Hirani sir is one of my favourite directors. I am definitely sold on going and watching Dunki. So I do understand that that’s a very big movie that is coming out. But the biggest fear that we always have, which is always when making a movie, is whether the audience is going to like it or not,” he added.
